It could cause the battery to explode. It can also destroy some of the electronics in the vehicle. In other words this would be a very expensive mistake.
If you connect a negative battery terminal to another negative terminal, you would be creating a short circuit, which can lead to excessive current flow and potential damage to the battery or the connected devices. It is not a recommended practice and can be dangerous.
The switch is not needed.
The positive terminal of the battery would be connected to the positive terminal of the ammeter. The load would then be connected between the two negative terminals, positive side of the load being connected to the negative side of the ammeter.
It could blow up the battery.
There is no way that the positive battery terminal was ever connected to the chassis. This would be a dead short and would fry the battery. Negative to chassis is correct, but positive to chassis, no way. That positive cable goes somewhere else.
Somebody is trying a trick question! The electron that comes out of the negative terminal has zero potential energy. With respect to the positive terminal it has -1.5V of electrical potential energy, and so does every other electron at 0.0V whether or not they came out of the battery.
Connect the positive terminal on one battery to the negative terminal on the other with heavy wire and battery clamps. Connect the remaining positive terminal to the metal chassis of the tractor, and run the remaining negative wire to the items to be powered, with any luck at all, through a fusebox.
Assuming the vehicle has a negative earth You connect the positive lead first The reasoning When the positive lead is fitted first, if you dropped a spanner across the battery negative terminal to the car body all you would do is make the circuit. If you connect the Negative lead first, and you dropped a spanner across the positive battery terminal to the car body you would then have a dead short
Electrons are negatively charged, and so are attracted to the positive end of a battery and repelled by the negative end. So when the battery is hooked up to something that lets the electrons flow through it, they flow from negative to positive.
I have the same problem with a '82 Poweram 150 - It was suggested to me that it could be the engine is improperly connected to the negative terminal on the battery. Take jumper cables and ground one side to the negative terminal, the other clipped to the engine near the distributor. Might do the trick.

there may be a ground wire from the negative battery terminal that isn't making a connection
